Abstract:The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Safety hosted a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Evaluation Peer Exchange on May 12, 2016 at the National Highway Institute in Arlington, Virginia. The purpose of the peer exchange was to identify and exchange best practices between the States on HSIP Evaluation. HSIP evaluation shows the lowest deployment level of any component in the safety management process as indicated by many States not regularly analyzing all projects, limited use of advanced methods, and often not reporting the level of detail minimally required on HSIP annual reports. There is also a great deal of variation in HSIP evaluation practices among States that do conduct evaluations. Agencies need specific guidance to track and evaluate the effectiveness of projects, countermeasures, and programs. The peer exchange was organized around five main topics important to HSIP evaluation: (1) Completed Project Inventory, (2) Individual Project Evaluation Approaches, (3) Countermeasure Evaluation Approaches, (4) Overall Program Evaluation Approaches, and (5) Automated Evaluation Approaches. For each topic, one or two peer states led the discussion followed by a roundtable discussion. FHWA provided an open discussion opportunity at the conclusion of all five topics. Each state also identified key takeaways from the peer exchange. The following states attended: Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, and Virginia.
